典型医药活性物质在污水处理厂中的归趋及其风险评估

采用固相萃取、高效液相色谱/串联质谱法 (污泥样品先采用超声波萃取预处理方法提取) 检测分析了包括磺胺类、喹诺酮类、大环类酯类抗生素、心血管类、止痛剂类等8类医药活性物质在重庆某污水厂中的含量水平及其行为归趋.采用 EC/PNEC 综合评价体系评估环境中目标医药活性物质的生态风险,利用质量平衡分析的方法分析了其在水相及污泥相中的分布.结果表明,目标物质在水相中均可检出,其检出浓度在ng/L~μg/L,在污泥样品中可检测出18种目标物质,其浓度在ng/g (干重,下同).仅仅1.1%的目标物质被污泥吸附去除.污水处理厂初级处理及氯化消毒阶段对目标物质无明显去除效果,目标物质的去除主要发生在生物处理阶段,生物的降解或转化作用是目标物质的主要去除机制.EC/PNEC分析表明,磺胺嘧啶、磺胺甲恶唑、氧氟沙星与脱水红霉素在污水处理厂出水及其污泥中综合评价因子均大于1,它们的存在可能对环境产生不同程度的危害.本研究结果表明,污水处理厂并不能完全去除水相中微量的医药物质,为防止排放导致的潜在生态风险,出水及污泥中活性医药物质需采取措施进行进一步的处理.     

Importance of Baseline Specification in Evaluating Conservation Interventions and Achieving No Net Loss of Biodiversity

There is an urgent need to improve the evaluation of conservation interventions. This requires specifying an objective and a frame of reference from which to measure performance. Reference frames can be baselines (i.e., known biodiversity at a fixed point in history) or counterfactuals (i.e., a scenario that would have occurred without the intervention). Biodiversity offsets are interventions with the objective of no net loss of biodiversity (NNL). We used biodiversity offsets to analyze the effects of the choice of reference frame on whether interventions met stated objectives. We developed 2 models to investigate the implications of setting different frames of reference in regions subject to various biodiversity trends and anthropogenic impacts. First, a general analytic model evaluated offsets against a range of baseline and counterfactual specifications. Second, a simulation model then replicated these results with a complex real world case study: native grassland offsets in Melbourne, Australia. Both models showed that achieving NNL depended upon the interaction between reference frame and background biodiversity trends. With a baseline, offsets were less likely to achieve NNL where biodiversity was decreasing than where biodiversity was stable or increasing. With a no‐development counterfactual, however, NNL was achievable only where biodiversity was declining. Otherwise, preventing development was better for biodiversity. Uncertainty about compliance was a stronger determinant of success than uncertainty in underlying biodiversity trends. When only development and offset locations were considered, offsets sometimes resulted in NNL, but not across an entire region. Choice of reference frame determined feasibility and effort required to attain objectives when designing and evaluating biodiversity offset schemes. We argue the choice is thus of fundamental importance for conservation policy. Our results shed light on situations in which biodiversity offsets may be an inappropriate policy instrument Importancia de la Especificación de Línea de Base en la Evaluación de Intervenciones de Conservación y la Obtención de Ninguna Pérdida Neta de la Biodiversidad     

河流健康评价中不同标准化方法的应用与比较

年5月与2010年5—6月对浑太河流域开展大型底栖动物野外生态调查,分别使用水质法(水质指标标准化法)、栖境法(栖息地质量评价指标标准化法)和综合法(水质与栖息地质量评价指标结合的标准化法)筛选参照点和受损点,构建IBI(生物完整性指数)以对研究区域的健康状况作出评价. 结果表明:不同标准化方法筛选的参照点与受损点不同,其中,水质法与栖境法筛选的参照点与受损点数量多于综合法. 不同标准化方法构建的IBI核心参数不同,仅有4个参数〔总分类单元数、EPT分类单元数(蜉蝣目、積翅目、毛翅目三目昆虫分类单元数之和)、耐污类群相对丰度和黏附者相对丰度〕为3种方法所共有. 不同标准化方法对河流健康的评价结果不同,其中,水质法与栖境法对浑太河健康状况的评价等级整体高于综合法. 比较不同标准化方法选择参照点的准确率可知,栖境法的准确率(75%)优于水质法(50%)和综合法(67%);而在选择受损点的准确率中,水质法(100%)和综合法(100%)均优于栖境法(89％).

Cd-Cu-Pb复合污染对芥菜吸收Cd、Cu和Pb及矿质元素的影响

以十字花科的芥菜为材料,通过室内盆栽均匀设计试验,研究了Cd-Cu-Pb复合污染下芥菜对重金属的吸收转运特点以及对矿质元素吸收的影响. 结果表明:3种重金属在芥菜体内积累能力为Cd＞Cu＞Pb;芥菜对Pb、Cd有较强耐性,对高浓度Cu耐性不强. 土壤中重金属的含量是影响芥菜各部分重金属含量的主要因素之一;Cd可抑制芥菜对Pb的吸收和转移,促进Cu向芥菜地上部转移;Cd-Pb复合效应促进了Cd在芥菜体内累积;Cu抑制芥菜吸收Pb;Cu-Pb可促进Cd抑制Cu在芥菜各部的积累. 与对照相比,复合污染显著降低了芥菜对矿质元素的吸收累积,各处理芥菜对Mg、Fe和K的吸收转移特点显示出相似的规律,即地上部w(Mg)远大于地下部而w(Fe)和w(K)为地下部占优. Cd可极大促进芥菜对K的吸收而抑制对Fe的吸收,Cu则阻碍地下部对K的吸收;Cu与Cd-Pb复合效应可抑制K向地上部转移.      

Cu2+和Cu-EDTA对鲫鱼脑组织应激蛋白HSP70诱导的影响

以鲫鱼(Carassius auratus)作为实验对象,经过40d不同浓度铜(Cu²⁺)及其配合物(Cu-EDTA)的暴露后,运用SDS-PAGE和Western Blotting方法检测鱼脑组织内应激蛋白HSP70的诱导表达情况.结果表明:在实验浓度下,与对照组相比,Cu²⁺和Cu-EDTA对鱼脑内HSP70有显著的诱导(p<0.05),而将Cu²⁺和Cu-EDTA实验组相对比,络合剂EDTA一定程度上改变了Cu的生物可利用性,从而降低了其毒性.实验还发现,Cu²⁺浓度在国家渔业水质标准0.01mg/L下时,鱼脑组织内HSP70已经有明显的表达,说明运用分子生物学指标要比传统的环境监测指标更敏感,具有对污染物早期预警的作用.

Waste gasification vs. conventional Waste-to-Energy: a comparative evaluation of two commercial technologies

A number of waste gasification technologies are currently proposed as an alternative to conventional Waste-to-Energy (WtE) plants. Assessing their potential is made difficult by the scarce operating experience and the fragmentary data available. After defining a conceptual framework to classify and assess waste gasification technologies, this paper compares two of the proposed technologies with conventional WtE plants. Performances are evaluated by proprietary software developed at Politecnico di Milano and compared on the basis of a coherent set of assumptions. Since the two gasification technologies are configured as “two-step oxidation” processes, their energy performances are very similar to those of conventional plants. The potential benefits that may justify their adoption relate to material recovery and operation/emission control: recovery of metals in non-oxidized form; collection of ashes in inert, vitrified form; combustion control; lower generation of some pollutants.
